Vegan Strawberry Pie

This vegan strawberry pie is a classic: a crisp, sweet crust filled with a thick, glossy strawberry-vanilla filling made from frozen strawberries and pudding powder. It’s fruity, bright, and sliceable once chilled — the perfect make-ahead dessert for any time you want something fresh and comforting.

Crust Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet vegan pie dough according to its recipe, fit it into a pie dish, and chill.
  2. Blind bake the crust if your dough recipe recommends it (this helps keep it crisp under the filling). Let it cool completely before filling.

Strawberry Filling Instructions

  1. Add the frozen strawberries and sugar to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the strawberries release their juice and the mixture starts to simmer.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding powder with the water until smooth (no lumps).
  3. Stir the pudding mixture into the strawberries. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick and glossy.
  4. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes (it will thicken more as it cools).

Assemble and Chill Instructions

  1. Pour the slightly cooled strawberry filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set and sliceable.
  3. Slice and serve.
  4. Store covered in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.

Notes

  • Frozen strawberries vary in juiciness — if your filling feels too thick, add a splash of water; too thin, simmer 1–2 minutes longer.
  • Let the filling cool slightly before pouring so the crust stays crisp.
  • Chilling time is important for clean slices — overnight is the easiest.
  • Top with vegan whipped cream or extra fresh strawberries if you want it extra pretty.
